This is too short but too cute as well!

3.5
It was cute! However, too short for me to justify a 4 star rating. I might try to get the collected edition of all the Lil Gotham stories so I can read all of them at once.

Ummm. I'm not sure what happened. I love the premise, I love the characters... Hmm.

I went back and re-read the first two books. I don't know why I was being such a stick in the mud but right now I'm laughing and smiling. I this everything about this is genius. It's cute and fluffy and gorgeous. Seriously, the water colors are amazing. I know for a fact what I want in my life. I want a panel. Just one cause I'm sure it's going to be hella expensive but I want a panel from this series. I have to have me one... I'm not telling you which one so you can all go and find it and jack up the price for me ;-)

Hmm...5 8(!?!) books just showed up for free this week I wonder if we should be worried for them:

Adventures of Superman #1
Batman '66 #1
Batman Beyond 2.0 #1
Batman: Li'l Gotham #1
Justice League Beyond 2.0 #1
Legends of the Dark Knight #1
Smallville: Guardian, Part 1
The Vampire Diaries #1

ay, qué cosa tan bonita: quién sabe en qué universo suceda esto, y de verdad no importa: un par de "sketches" cómicos con un dibujo lindísimo (de dustin nguyen, hombre, no le dan crédito en goodreads!) que narra un par de aventuras (o no) de batman y robin en gotham durante alguna festividad (o al menos así es el primer número, dedicado a halloween y a thanksgiving). no sé qué más decir al respecto, salvo que es un alivio ver una historia ingenua de batman, algo que esté lleno de joie de vivre, de puras ganas de divertirse. li'l gotham es amor!

Not for people who don't have extensive knowledge of the Batman comics. Probably kids will like it and read it if they're Batman fans, but this set of vignettes about holiday adventures was confusing. One would have to know all of the ins and outs of the Batman comic books published through the years to understand who all of the characters are. No background is given. Very short and quick and that's nice if you're a younger kid or someone who already knows Batman, but I wouldn't recommend this to someone who doesn't especially know Batman.

This was a fun read, a few nice one liners, plenty of references to previous Batman continuity, and a nice little twist in the story at the end.

[Susan Alvarado · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not a big comic reader, but this was pretty cute. The story was pretty quick and not overly done. :)

[Donald Armfield · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Halloween story was great, but did not really care for the Thanksgiving half. But a cool concept. Interested enough to check out the other issues.

Beautiful Art

The comic itself is rather corny, but I'm giving it three stars for the enchanting artwork. Gotham has never looked quite so charming.

funny holiday read

That was an enjoyable and silky Halloween read. Gave me a good grin before bed as only Batman can do at times!
